Introduction
Scythe is an email client. You don't want to use it for the following reasons:
- Requires a UNIX-like operating system
- Line driven, no GUI, no curses
- Requires MH style mail storage
- Vaguely vi-like commands
- New software, so probably buggy
Scythe is released under the BSD licence. Share and enjoy, no warranties.
This development branch of Scythe is now deprecated, I plan to rewrite it all using Dicemail.
Features
- Allows mails from various folders to be listed simultaneously.
- Powerful expression language controls which mails are listed.
- Mail filtering based on same expression language.

Status
Right now Scythe does not have any composition features, which includes replying and forwarding of mail. Consider it a mail reader for the time being.
